The Center for Technology and Engineering and its Aerospace Engineering Specialty Program embraces rigor in both traditional core learning areas and in skills typically not taught as a part of a traditional curriculum. The Center is a unique school in Rockdale County, GA that is revolutionizing the educational experience of Students through Aerospace Engineering.

The overall goal of the Center for Technology and Engineering is not only to increase student achievement in math and science, but also to inspire students by exposing them to rigorous “real world” problems and issues using a research-based, proven curriculum.

The Conyers Middle School Campus has been transformed to be technology-rich, mimicking the workplace where all participants have access to the technological tools they need to complete their work. The campus is fully wireless with a 1:1 computer ratio for all students and facilitators. When projects are completed, external evaluators from a variety of business and education fields come to grade student presentations and final products.

All students at the Center for Technology and Engineering have the opportunity to obtain skills in Math, Science, Language Arts and Spanish as well as obtaining industry certifications in Engineering and Technology. The capstone project also gives students the opportunity to develop apprenticeships with business partners.
